01
Machine Overview
The Automatic Single Head Screw Capping Machine manufactured by Technogen Enterprise is an automatic bottle closure system designed to apply threaded screw caps to compatible containers. Its single-head configuration combines synchronized bottle handling, cap delivery and mechanical torque-controlled tightening for integration with suitable liquid packaging production lines.
The machine incorporates a stainless steel slat conveyor, starwheel indexing and bottle back-guide arrangement. The machine construction uses AISI 304 stainless steel, while the starwheel and back-guide components are specified in UHMW or Delrin material to support controlled bottle handling.
A magnetic hysteresis screw capping head with mechanical torque adjustment is provided for controlled screw-cap tightening. The machine uses a chute-pickup arrangement, in which the bottle and cap are brought together during the synchronized capping cycle.
The equipment has a rated capacity of 40–50 bottles per minute, depending on bottle diameter and height. The specified bottle diameter range is 22–100 mm, while screw cap diameters range from 22–65 mm with stated cap heights of 15–18 mm. Actual compatibility depends on the closure profile and bottle-neck dimensions.
Cap feeding systems can be selected from vibratory feeder, mechanical cap orientator or waterfall cap elevator configurations. A photoelectric sensor monitors the cap delivery chute and can stop the machine when no screw cap is available.
The machine includes No Bottle–No Cap, starwheel safety clutch and emergency-stop functions. A common drive synchronizes the conveyor, starwheel and capping turret, with controlled speed adjustment and integrated production counting.
Manufactured by Technogen Enterprise in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, the machine serves pharmaceutical and other compatible industrial bottle capping applications requiring automatic single-head screw-cap application.

Applications
03
Operating Principle
The machine uses automatic starwheel bottle indexing and a single magnetic hysteresis screw capping head to apply threaded closures to bottles.
Bottle Feeding
Containers arrive through the slat conveyor and are guided toward the starwheel indexing mechanism.
Cap Orientation and Supply
The selected cap feeding arrangement orients screw caps and delivers them through a chute toward the pickup position.
Bottle Positioning
The starwheel indexes each bottle to the capping position, maintaining alignment with the capping head.
Cap Availability InterlockA photoelectric sensor monitors the cap delivery chute, while the No Bottle–No Cap arrangement inhibits capping in the absence of a container.
Screw Cap Pickup
The stated chute-pickup arrangement transfers the closure to the bottle for subsequent tightening.
Controlled Tightening
The magnetic hysteresis capping head applies the screw cap, using the mechanical torque adjustment setting to regulate tightening.
Discharge and Safety Monitoring
The capped bottle moves to the outfeed conveyor. The starwheel clutch and emergency-stop functions provide machine protection under the designated conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the single-head screw capper apply closures?
It automatically indexes bottles, delivers threaded caps through a chute-pickup arrangement and tightens the closures with a magnetic hysteresis capping head.
What is the stated production speed?
The machine is specified for 40–50 bottles per minute, depending on bottle dimensions and handling conditions.
What is the screw cap diameter range?
The specified screw cap range is 22–65 mm in diameter, with cap height 15–18 mm.
Does the machine have torque control?
Yes. The capping head uses magnetic hysteresis technology with a mechanical torque adjustment provision.
What happens if a cap is missing?
A photoelectric sensor monitors the cap delivery chute and can stop machine operation when the necessary cap is not available.
